Rivian is an expensive failure. 😂 They’re going to steal VW 's money, whatever is invested, and they’re going to spend it all before VW can get it back. So…they’re going to lose at least $1B.

Those people do not share your perspective. I do view it as largely subconsciously selfish, but your take is fucked up.

This is actually really funny because I think Michael Knowles talked about this exact same thing either 2 or 3 days ago. The conclusion was: we have these instincts. Some people just really like exercising them, and others, they’re exercising fear/horror/disgust in a safe, controlled environment because that helps to prepare them for the fears, horrors, disgust they’ll face in real life.

Not that they’re thinking that consciously. But subconsciously.

The message of Christianity is excellent for subjugating populations, giving them purpose & hope, keeping people busy & out of trouble. I think that all sounds very appealing to rulers.

Sometimes when I’m randomly banned from speaking for no good reason at all, I test to see if I’m still banned by typing ‘A’ & deleting it. This account has been muted for a week & it looks like it’s finally lifted. For now.

My stuff still shows up as ‘deleted by creator’. I’ve noticed the blanks, too. I use Sync for Lemmy.

Grayjay!! 🙌🏻

Hooray! 🙌🏻

Came to say, touch grass. Get a job, get busy. Clean your home (I sure need to!), tidy up your corner of the world & exert positive control over things you can control. If you can’t control it, please, don’t worry about it.

Sounds like a skill issue. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nice!!

Man idk, maybe he’s never really had a good grilled cheese. ¯\(°_o)/¯

"That’s the correct spot in the video.

I don’t want him touching the video progress bar!!"

I call bullshit on the claim it’s “because of how bullying cases were handled”. Looks pretty straightforward, racist AF to me.

And even if that were true, or more likely he was a racist dickhead, either way: if he had such a big problem, if he wanted to protest…you don’t have to publicly cross the stage at graduation. Not that he’s smart enough to reason this out. But crossing the stage is a privilege, it is public recognition, it is a community event. The graduate need not be compelled to participate; she could have received her diploma in the mail (like most do, anyway) & stayed home.

Although judging by the girl’s reaction, her father was acting off-the-cuff, alone, and without her knowledge. I’m hoping that’s the case. Racism is fucking stupid.

I also use the term “legacy media”

Biden, meanwhile, for better or worse is exactly the same now as he was four years ago.

🤡 He wasn’t good in 2020, and he’s even worse now. This is only the hottest, most recent takes based off recent events, but we know there’s a long record of humiliation & weakness on the world stage. Mexico border: fucked. USA fentanyl crisis: fucked. Afghanistan: fucked. Israel-Palestine: fucked. Russia-Ukraine: fucked. China: getting on their bullshit. The global hegemon is weak; the world suffers as a consequence.

Until the last couple months of panic mode, I have seen an entirely unfounded, unflappable confidence being displayed by Democrats, media. There is not a single damn thing about Biden that instills confidence. Trump isn’t silenced, Trump isn’t jailed, everything tried has failed. Which leads me to believe…we’re going to see at least an attempted Trump assassination.

Biden should be shuffled off into the nearest nursing home & replaced with a competent Democrat. It looks like that’s not going to happen. Idk, this next half-year is going to be mighty interesting, to say the least. 🍿😃🍿
